After updating to EndNote X7.4 today I can not import RIS References anymore (I use EndNote for Mac). I use the ProCite Filter and it has worked perfectly before. Now I get: “The document “Primo_RIS_Export-40.ris” could not be opened. EndNote X7 cannot open files in the “RemoteDocumentType” format.” What can I do?
Thank you!

Any solution to this? We get “The document “endNote_2015_09_28_05_56.enw” could not be opened. EndNote X7 cannot open files in the “RemoteDocumentType” format”.
Have you consulted the nice " EndNote X7 Little How-to Book" http://endnote.com/kb/129310
(I see it was updated Sept 2014, so I updated my version from 2013, which is saved in my Endnote library)
Most time this has to do with making sure the browser knows how to open the file with Endnote?

Have you tried: 1) changing the enw. file extension to.txt - endNote_2015_09_28_05_56. txt ; then 2) importing the. txt file into Endnote using the Refman RIS import filter.
